THE LATE COLONEL EI0N.
His Dying Statement Concerning His
ParcntHGe.

i5is Dying Statement Concerning His
ParcntaSe.
The News and Courier of Saturday
contains al account Of an interview with
:. prominent lawyer who, speaking OF
the late James Il. Hion, OF Wincsboro,
said:
There has always been, as perhaps
you are aware, a mystery surrounding
Colonel Nion's birth. He was very
familiar VITA John c. Calhoun during
lis early life, who took q great interest
in his welfare and was very kind 20 him
and bis mother. They came from Canada
to Washington about the time when Mr..
Calhoun was Secretary Of State under
President Tyler. There have been many
spccr,iations il regard to Colonel Rlons
origin and family and many runners, and
there was always i recognized mystery
hanging over the subject. 1t was difficult
to account for the great interest NJ.
Calhoun seemed to take ID HIM. Colonei
Rion himself always manifested great
admiration for Nj. Calhoun and ever
entertained the deepest reverence tQr the
iliustrious statesman both as u pubic
man and rs i private citizen. Some
ha7e even gone SO far as to lnter from
these circumstances that some peculiar
relationship existed between them. 1t
IS said now that Colonel kion exploded
this mystery during the fes brief hours
thai lntcryencd between the inst
paroXys,n OF the attack which carried
aiu oil and MS death-he lived several
hours, Us you viii remember, after ne

EMBEZZLER BALDWIN.
JIG Is Discharged from Custody on the Order
OF Justice Bradley. Of the Supreme Court.

TRENTON, N. j., Feb lin the habeas corpus
proceedings brought by counsel for Oscar F.
Baldwin, Justice Bradley of the United States
Supreme Court, filed an opinion in the United
States Circuit Court, yesterday, and an order to-
day discharging Baldwin from State prison
Baldwin, five years ago, was sentenced to five
years each on three counts of an Indictment for
misappropriating So 10000 Of funds of the
Mechanics National Bank. of Newark, N. j..
and endeavoring to cancel the defalcation by
false entries and false statements The sentence
was that the terms were not to run concurrent
ly. Justice Bradley holds that the sentence Of
fifteen years was illegal, first, because
Baldwin was sentenced to hard labor, whereas
the law under which he was indicted imposed a
penalty OF imprisonment only; second, because
no more than ono sentence of five years could be
imposed under the law, inasmuch as the said
offenses were each an act forming part of one
act OF misapplication of moneys; third. because
the sentence does not specify upon which indiet-
ment either of the terms is to be undergone.
fourth, because the sentence is void for the un.
certainty that in the law the terms did run con
currently, and, fifth, because having served five
years and paid the costs, he has served the
sentence fully. Baldwin was discharged this
morning under the decision that no further i'm.
prisonment can occur.

AN ITALIAN REPULSE.

Defeated In Two Fights and Two Hundred
Men Killed-Excitement at Rome.
ROME, Feb. LIN the Chamber Of Deputies
to-day, Premier Depretis laid before the Depu-
ties the information. just received by the gov
eminent, that General Rasalula, with force of
Italian troops. attacked Saati, Abyssinia, on
JAM 25, and after three hours hard fighting
was repulsed. The Italian loss, the report
says was trifiing. and that of the Abyssinians
unknown On the following day three COM
panes of Italians left Monkulto to carry pro-
visions to the force at Saati, but before reach
ing that place were attacked by Abyssin-
ians. The fighting was desperate and
protracted, but the Italians were overpowered
and most of them killed, only ninety of the
party, all of whom were wounded, reaching
Massowah. This announcement created a
great sensatian in the Chamber; and it was with
great difficulty that NJ. Depretis was able to con-
clude his statement SO numerous and vocifer-
GUS were the questions showered upon him.
Resuming. NJ. Depretis said that the commander
OF the Italian forces in Abyssinia had recalled
the troops from Saati and concentrated
them at Massowah This statement was
received by the Radicals with ironical
laughter. which was speedily drowned
by the shouts of the government
members, The government then proposed a
bill devoting 100000 francs to the purpose of
sending reinforcements to Abyssina, which the
Chamber Immediately approved by unanimous
vote. few Radicals cheered an allusion to the
vaior of the Abyssinians, whereupon nine
tenths Of the members arose to their feet and
cneered the government. The Radicals cried
out to the representatives of the governments
"You must retire." to which the majority re-
torted: Never; you are towards" The popu-
lace are in frenzy of excitement tonight, the
streets being filled with people shouting ven
geance, and demanding the immediate extermi-
nation of the Abyssinans
